Key: D

🎸 Intro:

A* Bm* G*
A* Bm* G




🎸 Verse 1:
            A*  Bm*
Turn on the TV
              G*
Cause I can’t leave myself alone with my thoughts
       A*   Bm*
I stay busy
   G
Convince myself it’s helping but it’s not

A*                               Bm*
Dealing with other people's problems is easier than dealing
G*
With my own, and I know that
A*                              Bm*
I should slow it down, focus on myself, and for once maybe
G*
Ask for help, instead of always


🎸 Chorus:
A*                 Bm*
Distracting myself
     G*
From hearing myself
       A*                 Bm*
I keep distracting myself
     G*
So I don’t think about
           A*               Bm*
All of my issues at the core
                 F#m*          G*
Scared of the truth that I ignore
          A*                 Bm*
So I keep distracting myself
G                              A*
Distracting my, distracting myself
Bm*            G*
Yeah yeah yeah
               A*
Distracting myself
Bm*           G*
Yeah yeah yeah


🎸 Verse 2:
       A         Bm
I hate big crowds
         G
But I go out with people I don’t even like
            A               Bm
And I’m not proud (no no no no)
             G
When I start leading someone on to pass the time (so I'm not alone)

    A                             Bm                    G
But having someone is better than having nothing but my insecurities
   G
To keep me company
A                           Bm                           G
Part of me feels guilty and part of me doesn't ever want him to leave

So I can keep

A                 Bm

I keep distracting myself
     G
So I don’t think about

All of my issues at the core
                 F#m           G
Scared of the truth that I ignore
          A                  Bm
So I keep distracting myself
G                              A
Distracting my, distracting myself

A                             Bm*
Having someone is better than having
                   G
Nothing but my insecurities in front of me

Still I keep
A
Faking my feelings
        Bm                           G
It's easier than dealing with my insecurities

In front of me

So I keep
